Abstract: This study aims at evaluating Lebanese and Saudi nursing students' self-confidence, satisfaction, and clinical judgment in a high-fidelity simulation. High fidelity simulation is an increasingly popular academic application gaining more corroboration in nursing curricula over the years. To prepare highly qualified nurses with refined clinical judgement skills, high fidelity simulation presents a promising academic technique. A quantitative cross-sectional research methodology was used to recruit 673 Lebanese and Saudi nursing students from various academic levels for this investigation. Three questionnaires were used: a sociodemographic survey, the student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning questionnaire (13 items) and the Lasater clinical judgment rubric (11 items in 4 components). A convenience s le of 673 nursing students from all academic levels, genders and ages at two universities, one in Lebanon and one in Saudi Arabia, which both offer a similar 4 year nursing curriculum and include high fidelity simulation into their courses, was recruited. The s le was calculated based on a population of 891 nursing students, thus yielding a need for 269 students for a confidence interval of 95%, which makes the 673 students in the s le sufficient. Students who participated in simulation-based learning reported fairly high levels of learning satisfaction ( p =0.00), self-confidence ( p =0.00), and clinical judgment ( p =0.03), with Lebanese students scoring better overall. In the case of satisfaction ( p =0.00) and self-confidence ( p =0.00) as predictors of clinical judgment, there was a strong connection between the variables. Nursing students from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia who participated in simulation-based learning activities showed high levels of satisfaction, self-confidence, and clinical judgment.

Abstract: Teaching nursing students a holistic approach to patient care and integrating treatment modalities is a crucial component of traditional holistic nursing education. This study aims to investigate the educational competency of student nurses in holistic nursing by employing a descriptive comparative design among the 209 student nurses from the University of Hail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results showed that the student nurses perceived that they have been skillful in the following professional, legal, and ethical nursing (3.22±.455), management (3.27±.492), leadership (3.29±.493), and professionalism (3.32±.505). On gender and professional, legal, and ethical nursing, there found significant gender differences (t=.822 p=.012). Also, management was found to have significant differences with gender (t=.281 p=.009). Leadership (t=-.694 p ) and professionalism (t=.885 p .377) were found to have no significant difference with gender. Moreover, the professional, legal, and ethical nursing (t=.822 p .001) and management (t=.910 p .001) were found to have significant differences with the age of the student nurses, while leadership (t=.231 p .794), and professionalism (t=.270 p .764) were found no significant difference with age. On civil status, there found a significant difference in professional, legal, and ethical nursing (t=1.337 p .001). Meanwhile, management (t=.992 p .397), leadership (t=.142p .935), and professionalism (t=1.122 p .341) were found to have no significant difference with civil status. Incorporating holistic nursing into nursing courses and research programs would help educate student nurses for multicultural practice contexts as healthcare settings become more erse.

Abstract: This study aims to determine the level of stress and the coping style through positive mental health status among student nurses. Further, it aimed to look into the relationship between the level of stress and positive mental health. The study was conducted at the University of Hail, College of Nursing using the descriptive cross-sectional approach. Data was gathered in three months from November to January 2020 through a self-administered questionnaire. There were 175 student nurses who participated in the study as a result of simple random s ling. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the demographic characteristics of the nursing students, perceived stress, and positive mental health. T-test was used to determine differences in age, gender, marital status, and academic program while one-way ANOVA was used at an academic level. Pearson’s product moment of correlation was used to establish a relationship between perceived stress and positive mental health. Results revealed a moderate level of stress (Mean=24 SD=5.83) and a restrained Positive mental health status (Mean=103 SD=11.78) among the student nurses. Gender (p=.017) showed significance in terms of positive mental health status. There is no significant relationship (p=0.987) between Positive Mental Health and Perceived Stress among the nursing students in Hail, Saudi Arabia. Saudi nursing students experienced moderate to high levels of stress and a moderate level of positive mental health. Gender is significant in positive mental health. As no correlation was deemed between perceived stress and positive mental health, enhancement of coping strategies is recommended to train student nurses to handle stress and promote positive mental health.

Abstract: Successful implementation of Basic life support (BLS) is critical to improving survival rates and outcomes, especially among healthcare workers. To our knowledge, there is no available literature pertaining to the level of BLS knowledge of health care professionals in Yemen. Data was collected for this cross-sectional descriptive study from June to August 2020, using a 10-item questionnaire related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and BLS, along with questions on socio-demographic characteristics. Participants were nurses in public and private hospitals located in Al-Rahida and Al-dimna cities, Taiz governance and Hodeidah city, Hodeidah governance in Yemen. Out of 220 distributed questionnaires, 200 were returned with a response rate of 90.9%. More than a half (53.65%) of answer choices for BLS knowledge were correct. There was a significant difference in knowledge score based on level of education where those who had Bachelor degree had more knowledge ( P = 0.000). Those who said they had received training in CPR or received information about CPR had significantly higher scores than those who did not receive ( P = 0.000). BLS knowledge among nurses in Yemen is below an acceptable level to ensure maximum survival in the event of cardiac arrest. Disseminating BLS information and training in a cost effective and efficient manner will provide a large benefit in terms of lives saved with minimal costs.

Abstract: Nurses with effective communication skills play a critical role in minimising the stress associated with hospitalisation for both patients and their families. Effective communication has become increasingly reported as a key component in effective health care outcomes, which is even more crucial in countries such as Saudi Arabia with a large foreign healthcare workforce. The presence of a large expatriate workforce with a different language from the host society and the ensuing complexity of sociocultural linguistic and heath beliefs systems has been poorly researched. This study aimed to investigate barriers and facilitators of nurse-patient communication in Saudi Arabia using the Nurses’ Self-Administered Communication Survey. The survey was distributed to a random s le of 291 nurses working in medical and surgical departments at five hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The results indicate that the Philippine and Saudi Arabian nurses perceived greater barriers to communication with respect to personal/social characteristics, job specifications and environmental factors then nurses of other nationalities. In addition, nurses with shorter experience in Saudi Arabia perceived greater barriers to communication with respect to the clinical situation of patient and environmental factors than the nurses with longer experience. Lastly, nurses who had not attended specialist courses on communication skills acquisition perceived greater barriers to communication with respect to personal characteristics and job specifications than nurses who had attended such courses. This study highlights the need to better prepare expatriate nurses before they enter the workforce in Saudi Arabia on cultural competence and language skills.

Abstract: Vaccines are considered preventive measures to reduce coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread around the world. There are many factors for adherence and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination. The study aimed to investigate nursing students’ knowledge, perception, and factors that influence their adherence to COVID-19 vaccines. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted among nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University, Egypt, during the period between September 1 and November 30, 2021. Of the total of 500 participants, 76% took a COVID-19 vaccination. About 89% of participants rated the correct answer related to COVID-19 vaccination. Obligatory to enter the faculty, protect family and friends, and protect myself were the most reasons of adherence (80.3, 73.7, and 70.8%, respectively) while fear of adverse events and lack of information about vaccine were the most reasons of nonadherence (87.5 and 79.2%, respectively) to COVID-19 vaccination. The majority of participants (62%) had expressed positive perception toward COVID-19 vaccination. Education level, training program about COVID-19, previous infection with COVID-19, perception toward COVID-19 vaccination, and knowledge toward COVID-19 vaccination were significantly ( p = .035, p = .027, p = .009, p = .008 and p = .033, respectively) associated with students’ adherence to take COVID-19 vaccines. Accurate knowledge and perception about COVID-19 vaccines are the stronger predictors of vaccine hesitance or acceptance among nursing students in Egypt. C aigns to increase knowledge and perception of COVID-19 and its vaccines among nursing students are needed to improve vaccine acceptance and reduce vaccine hesitance.

Abstract: Background: Successful implementation of Basic life support (BLS) is critical in improving survival rates and outcomes. By extension, health care workers’ knowledge and awareness about BLS is also essential. To our knowledge, there is no available literature pertaining to the level of BLS knowledge of health care professionals in Yemen. Methods: Data was collected for this cross-sectional descriptive study from June to August 2020, using a 10-item questionnaire related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and BLS, along with questions on socio-demographic characteristics. Participants were nurses in public and private hospitals located in Al-Rahida, Taiz governance and Hodeidah, Hodeidah governance in Yemen. Results : Among all completed surveys, 53.65% of answer choices for BLS knowledge were correct and 46.35% of answer choices were incorrect. Having a Diploma was associated with higher survey scores (P 0.001) compared to having a Bachelor’s degree. Those who said they had ever received training in CPR or received information about CPR had significantly higher scores than those who answered no to these questions (P 0.001 for both questions). Conclusions: BLS knowledge among nurses in Yemen is comparable to other underdeveloped countries however, it remains below an acceptable level to ensure maximum survival in the event of cardiac arrest. Future research and efforts should be aimed at implementing strategies to improve BLS knowledge among nurses in Yemen, with a long-term goal of improving BLS knowledge among the non-medical population as well to decrease the burden associated with sudden cardiac death.

Abstract: Background: Analyzing how nurses handle professionalism in their careers will help all concerned in iduals identify areas of concern to develop and enhance further to achieve or maintain a high degree of professionalism. Objective: This study aimed to determine the level of professionalism among nurses and its differences according to socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional approach was utilized in three significant regions of Saudi Arabia. A simple random s ling technique was employed with 305 respondents, resulting in a 95.9% response rate. A Google Form survey was used to collect the data between January and April 2021. Results: Nurses perceived themselves highly in professional organization (Mean = 3.94, SD = 0.17), belief in public service (Mean = 3.91, SD = 0.22), belief in self-regulation (Mean = 3.97, SD = 0.08), sense of calling (Mean = 4.01, SD = 0.13), and belief in autonomy (Mean = 3.71, SD = 0.15). There was no significant difference between gender and professional organization, belief in public service, self-regulation, or belief in autonomy. Still, there was a significant difference in belief in public service (t = 2.794 p = 0.006) and sense of calling (t = 4.290 p = 0.001). As to age, only belief in self-regulation was significant (t = 5.984 p = 0.003). Moreover, the educational qualifications reached an insignificant difference in professionalism. Conversely, the type of facility has been found to have reached significant differences with a professional organization (F = 3.057 p = 0.029), belief in public service (F = 4.130 p = 0.007), beliefs in regulation (F = 3.452 p = 0.017), sense of calling (F = 3.211 p = 0.023), and belief in autonomy (F = 5.995 p = 0.001). Lastly, the current position found no significant difference in professionalism. Conclusion: Nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia perceived themselves as highly professional, and male nurses were found to have a sense of calling more than their female counterparts. Age, educational qualification, and current position had no significant difference in professionalism. Conversely, the type of facility had a significant difference with the belief in autonomy. These findings support and sustain the role of nurses in this 21st-century health care that is significantly needed to provide the most quality care.

Abstract: Background: Holistic practices have been found beneficial for patients as well as nurses. They increase both the nurses and the patients’ health-promoting behaviors, spirituality, and interpersonal relationships. Objective: This study aimed to determine holistic nursing care and compare its differences based on in idual characteristics. Methods: This study employed a quantitative-cross sectional approach. It was conducted at the hospitals of Hail region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from February 2020 to March 2020. Selected through convenience s ling, 154 operating room nurses participated in the study. Frequency and percentages were used to analyze the demographic information, and t-tests and analysis of variance were used to test for differences. Results: Holistic nursing dimensions such as physiological (4.72 ± 0.40), socio-cultural (4.53 ± 0.45), psychological (4.66 ± 0.32), and spiritual aspects (4.22 ± 0.73) were consistently carried out in the operating room. On the physiological dimension, no significant differences were found in years of experience [(t) -0.073 p 0.942], gender [(t) -1.113 p 0.27], or age [(F) 0.558 p 0.57), but there was a significant difference with nationality [(t) -3.328 p 0.001]. On the socio-cultural dimension, the length of experience [(t) 0.599 p 0.550], gender, [(t) -1.420 p 0.158], and age [(F) 0.148 p 0.862] were not significant, but a significant difference was found with nationality [(t) -7.516 p 0.001]. Regarding the psychological dimension, the length of experience [(t) -1.101 p 0.276], gender [(t) -1.545 p 0.129], and age [(F) 1.259 p 0.287] were not significant, but there was a significant difference with nationality [(t) -5.492 p 0.001]. Finally, with the spiritual dimension, no significant difference was found on length of experience [(t) -1.101 p 0.276] or age [(F) 0.584 p 0.559], but there were significant differences on gender [(t) -3.890 p 0.001] and nationality [(t) -3.653 p 0.001]. Conclusion: Nationality is a causal factor to physiological, socio-cultural, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, while gender is significant to spiritual aspect. Regardless of nationality or gender, nurses must be knowledgeable regarding the significance of adopting holistic care to improve the quality of their care to their patients.

Abstract: Background: Reflection increases meta-cognitive capacities, promotes student-instructor relationships, overcomes the theory-practice gap, and enriches learning. This study aims at exploring nursing students’ perspectives on the facilitators of reflective practices in the clinical setting. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 21 Saudi nursing students at one major university in Saudi Arabia. Results: Two major themes were prevalent upon thematic analysis, namely, “Personal Drivers of Reflection” which consisted of “Motivation to Learn”, “Desire to develop”, “Ethical Regard”, and “Responsibility towards patients” and “External Drivers of Reflection” which consisted of “Patient characteristics”, “Case complexity”, and “Competent Instructors”. Conclusion: As per the results of the study, nursing students perceived that they underwent reflection as a response to personal motivational and external educational aspects. According to the findings, instructors should assist students through clinical reflection, with a special focus on their interactions and motivation.

Abstract: In this work, Bi 0.8 Ba 0.2 Fe 1 − x Mo x O 3 (x = 0, 0.5, 0.10 and 0.15) ceramics were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction to evaluate the influence of Ba 2+ and Mo 6+ co-doping on the structure, morphology, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of BiFeO 3 ceramic. Rietveld refinement of x-ray diffraction data was done to obtain the subtle structural information. A tetragonal structure of P4mm type was revealed for Bi 0.8 Ba 0.2 FeO 3 (x = 0) ceramic. Evolution of rhombohedral (R3c) phase was observed with Mo 6+ doping and a complete transformation to R3c phase from P4mm was found for 15 wt% Mo 6+ doping. This type of transformation causes distortion in the structure and results in changing bond angle. Magnetization was found to be improved with increasing the percentage of Mo 6+ up to 10 wt%. Canting of spin due to the change in Fe-O-Fe bond angle is believed to be the main reason behind this improvement. One secondary phase BaMoO 4 was found and becomes prominent with Mo 6+ doping. Possible formation of this impurity and its correlation with properties are explained. Microstructural analysis was done to observe the Ba 2+ and Mo 6+ co-doping effect on grain size and distribution. A correlation of grain size with electric and magnetic properties is drawn and elucidated. Dielectric constant shows an increasing trend with Mo 6+ doping. Reduction in oxygen vacancy, due to charge compensation upon high charged Mo 6+ addition, believed to be the staple reason behind the dielectric constant increment. Lastly, optical band gap energy found to be decreased with the addition of Mo 6+ and possible reasons behind this are evaluated. Overall, co-doping of Ba 2+ and Mo 6+ found to have a positive influence over materials electrical, optical as well as magnetic property.
